Gotta pay for it some way. Before I go back to work to pay for the cruise, here are a few from my camera from the cruise and a car ride around Canada and Washington.
We had a day before the cruise took off, so we did a little sightseeing. This lovely waterfall was only about a mile down the trail. Notice the glacial water with ground up rock so fine that it will not settle out until much further downstream.
Two of our nieces that came along for the ride.
Melissa sitting under a cedar tree that was manipulated, either by humans or by nature, many many years ago. Judging by its symmetry and location in Vancouver, I'm guessing it was manipulated by humans.
A little whitewater rafting. This was the most exciting part.
We stopped in this narrow channel, and I got this picture from our balcony. I love Alaska cruises
At first, I worried about this bare footed little boy making his way across a cold stream, but he obviously has more years of experience than I have.
He and his sister made it safely back across and played in the water while I stood in awe of this beautiful three tiered waterfall.
There was a language barrier between my wife and these boys. The barrier was, she spoke and they were not talking.
This looked like an easy hike.
It looked pretty too.
It got steep.
6 1/2 hours later we were turned around by snow cover and time. We made it past this one, but the one on the other side of the pass was massive. Pretty good for a two-year-old hip.
Time to load up the desk and go to work. Linda and I got back to Texas with only a couple of days for me to rest and get to Littleton, Colorado to work. Maurice and I loaded up and drove. Here we are in front of a friend's house in Monument, Colorado. We're waiting for him to come home from work so we can mooch a free dinner from him.
